It's a great spot for a short stay, close to lots of amenities and comfortable and well-appointed. Very attentive host with lots of helpful tips. We loved the rooftop of evening drinks, with the great Acropolis view lit up. Highly recommended.
The happy place is a sweet apartment in the best location in all of Athens! This property owner will do everything in her power to help you enjoy your stay in Athens! She is a gem❣️ Thank you happy place for a wonderful stay♥️
The apartment was spotless and the host was great! Best of all it was located within walking distance of the Ancient Agora, the Acropolis, and the other sites we came to see. Good restaurants are nearby too! The Thissio neighborhood is not as touristy, crowded, and noisy as the Plaka, Psyrri, and other neighborhoods north and east of the Acropolis, but it’s easy to get to those areas if you want. Most highly recommended.
We stayed for 3 nights when we arrived in Athens. The apartment was very clean, well appointed, and stocked with coffee and tasty snacks. Convenient walk to groceries, restaurants, transit, Acropolis, and many tourist areas. Rooftop patio with view Acropolis view, but so close to restaurants with Acropolis views that we didn’t actually use the rooftop. Everything was as advertised or better. Eftihia was a wonderful host. We would stay there again.
The apartment was located a short walk from the Acropolis, Monasteraki and many other archeological sites. My husband and I spent 7 days walking Athens. The most amazing view of the Acropolis was from the roof terrace. Every morning, we had our coffee and a few times even dinner gazing at the beauty that is Athens.
Eftehea, the property owner, provided us with essentials treats in the kitchen and the check-in/checkout process was smooth. Overall, I highly recommend this apartment to anyone who would like to be in the center of Athens but in a quiet neighborhood. Definitely, plan to stay there again on my next visit to Greece.
Eftihia’s apartment was the perfect home base for our trip to Greece. It was very close to the Acropolis and the origin point for all of our tours. Basically everything we wanted to do was in a 10-20 minute walking distance. The apartment size was great and everything very clean. Eftihia was a very responsive host leading up to and during the trip. She was very thorough and even helped us plan our activities and called around to try and facilitate an experience I was looking for. She was very friendly and accommodating when our trip got extended due to the airline changing things. Would definitely return to her apartment if we make it back to Athens!
Eftihia is the best host and her apartment was the perfect place to stay . I was there from 7/12 to 7/18/2023 with my 19 year old granddaughter . Loved location convenient to Metro and restaurants . Efthia provided us with many extras to keep us comfortable . She had quality bath products , many food items, beach bag and towels , umbrellas and parasols, books , maps and many other extras. Place was spacious , immaculate , air-conditioned, and comfortable . We appreciated that she kept in touch with us throughout our stay and also provided a contact with a taxi driver who was available to drive us to and from airport and also when we needed him while there. I highly recommend The Happy Place for anyone travelling to Athens .

A Perfect Honeymoon Stay in Athens!
My wife and I stayed at Eftihia's property for our honeymoon, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience! Eftihia was hands down the best host we've ever had. Even before we arrived, she was incredibly generous with her time, staying in regular contact for a whole month before our trip. She answered all our questions with enthusiasm and provided invaluable local knowledge.
Knowing it was our first trip to Athens and our honeymoon, she even went above and beyond by offering to supply wine upon our arrival. It's thoughtful gestures like these that make her such a standout host.
When we arrived, she warmly offered to meet us and went so far as to take us to a local restaurant, where she shared all the best spots to visit in the city. Her recommendations were spot-on and truly enhanced our experience.
As for the apartment, it was fantastic. The space was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The highlight was the rooftop with its stunning view of the Acropolis — the perfect backdrop for a memorable honeymoon.
Eftihia made our trip extra special, and we can't recommend her and her property enough. We have made a new friend! If you're headed to Athens, staying here is a must!

About the host
Hosted by Eftihia
My name is Eftihia (Eftehea), from the words 'ef' and 'tihi' (tehe) which mean 'good' and 'luck' in ancient greek. My profession is acting and as that started as a career (B.C. - before Crisis!!!) but has practically ended up a practical hobby (A.C.- after Crisis..), I am trying to reinvent myself and my life and scetch a 'plan B'..Whatever that will occur to be, my true passion is walking barefoot on sharp rocks of isolated greek islands. I love walking in general, I like nature and even though I am definately a child of the city, my soul meets its 'core' when away from it. My favourite time of the day in the area I leave in (where my house that welcomes airbnb guests is located) is between 2-6 in the morning. When the city sleeps one is able to 'pick up' and fully absorb this area's true energy. When crowded it is just another touristic place with great historical interest. Sharing your house with people you don't know (and- at circummstances- you might actually never even meet!!!) became possible thanks to this whole airbnb notion that you created. It is a beautiful chain that connects people who wanted more- out of traveling- than a regular hotel or rudimantary furnished/equipped apartments. That chain allows travellers to make a 'subtour' in their tour, experience how a person from a different country and culture lives. Like a quick whimsy eavesdropping or innocent peeping that might 'salt or sweeten up' the first and last moments of ones journey to a foreign place.
Why they chose this property
This is a happy space located on the second - Greek - floor, third American floor (24 cases through the main staircase), in the popular neighborhood of Thissio. Well equipped with all you might need, airy for fresh air and, of course, the best location in Athens. You are literarily at the foot of the Acropolis.
